XXXTentacion responds to assault charges via unhinged Instagram rant

Forget about Twitter rants, many celebrities are now using social media story features in order to post their raw, unfiltered thoughts.

In a slew of Instagram stories posted within the last 24 hours, up-and-coming Florida rapper XXXTentacion (Joshua Olfney) opened up about his domestic assault allegations, specifically the most recent involving his relationship from May to October 2016.

The Instagram story began with a screenshot introduction, laying out his thoughts on the matter.

This isn’t the first time that XXXTentacion has chosen to post graphic content. Just a few weeks ago, he uploaded a video where he appears to commit suicide in order to promote his debut album. While the post sparked outrage among many fans via Twitter, the album 17, which dropped the next day, seemed unharmed—landing a No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200.

While the rapper’s next Instagram move remains in the air, he has announced that a second album, Bad Vibes Forever, is in production.
